About this trail

The first part of this route, between Sillerenbühl and the Hahnenmoos Pass in the Vogellisiberg area near Adelboden, is called the “Blumenweg” (“flower trail”): the names of the many flowers along the path are indicated at signs.

You will have views of a fresh green landscape, surrounded by high peaks such as the Rinderhorn, Altels, Wildstrubel, Glacier de la Plaine Morte, Weisshorn, and Albristhorn. At the Hahnenmoos pass, you can also see some mountains belonging to the canton of Valais.

You will then walk along the base of the Regenboldshorn, heading for the high valley of Lurnig, where your sight will reach as far as the Niederhorn across the Thunersee, situated about 35 km (22 miles) away.

The route continues along the 700 m (2,300 ft) high rock walls of the Rotstock. After Lurnig, you will be able to look down on the waterfall of the Bütschibach. Then you will cross the tree line, and through conifer forests and meadows, you’ll reach the ending point of Bergläger.
